Mounting Gladiator Vibration Smart Switch Series Probes can be mounted from above or from the side D. Top mounting of a vessel.. When top mounting, ensure adequate clearance is provided between forks and the wall. Avoid creating Points to consider when mounting: a confined area where material could build-up over A.
Mounting Examples Gladiator Vibration Smart Switch Series Mounting Probes can be mounted from above or from the side. Use a protection plate for side mounting where the probe may be subject to impact damage. Install the Probe far enough away from the vessel wall to prevent the forks from coming into contact with the wall, and prevent build-up of product between the forks and the wall over time.
